Robin Williams said that he used to think that being alone was the worst thing, but now he says that it's not. The worst thing is living with people who make you feel like you are alone.

REMEMBER:

Nothing I do is of any importance to anyone, especially my immediate family.

No one wants to hear my boring stories of what happened to me today.

When asked for your opinion on something, especially if asked by immediate family, ask for their opinion first, pretend to consider this and then heartily agree with them.

Sometimes I truly do wonder if I exist. After asking people to put the toilet lid down, not to turn off the lights on me, ask did you hear me...to no response, I think I am invisible and will hence forth assume my invisibility with resignation.

I do nothing. I just sit and play on my computer. Everyone else does everything.

Above all I must remember that I had nothing to do with the fact that we are living the way we are now. I did not contribute in any way, I am a consumer, not a contributor.

The fact that I taught for 30 years, became a Master Teacher in my district, was the computer coordinator in my school of 600+ students, established a branch of the Envision credit union in our school(the first public school to do this) to teach children, about banking and saving, won the Hewlett Packard award for excellence in teaching(which no other school in BC has won), was given certificates of recognition by the province and the school district for my excellence in teaching, raised a young family while studying for two different degrees, nothing I do or have done is as challenging, as important, or as just downright fabulous as what my immdediate family have done.
